The preparations for London are already underway according to Kelly Kainz: "We chose the music together with Thomas Rabitsch. The next step we have to take is choosing the outfits which should be ready in July. Currently, we are already developping the choreography and the first parts of the program will be realised over the next few weeks. … The actual training will be finished by the end of August so that everything is ready for London."
